The speaker on my Zenith 161 has problems. About a year ago it quit working completely. Then, it would start working again for short periods of time. When it initially died it was subject to frequent outbursts of noise. Now, it produces very faint output. What causes this? Is the speaker going bad, or is it something else wrong with my machine. The computer itself works fine. I'd like to fix it. Do I need to simply replace the thing? -- Brett G.

I'd replace the speaker first. In one of Norton's programming books, he ddescribes the ways to make sound with the speaker. Whatever chip it is, I'd replace that second, assuming it's socketed. BTW, have you checked to see if the speaker connectors are firmly and cleanly connected?? If you have a portable, it may have been jostled too much, and something is merely loose...
